Just here for a vent really.
I work with a few different teams. In theory I belong to a different unit, but in reality have little to do with it. It’s an odd role - centrally funded by the unit but mostly working with delivery teams. I’ve said, over and over, to my manager that I feel adrift, I don’t have a home at work, I fall between the cracks, don’t get included in general policy update emails, group meetings, that kind of thing. And this week every team have had their Christmas meal/party, and I’ve not been invited to any of them. And I know I could have stuck my neck out and asked, but it just hurts that no one thought of me long enough to invite me to a Christmas meal.
I’ve worked for some good employers and some shit ones. This one has a good reputation, and it is really flexible, reasonably paid, very good pension. But shit I’m miserable in it. I am searching for a new role, but I need to work part time and there seem to be very few part time roles in my sector/level at the moment.
That’s it. Happy mask back on for Christmas now.
